Happy New Year

I hope to return to blogging soon.  It's been awhile, but life has been getting in my way.

My husband who has been ill for several years, which most of you knew that, but he became sicker and was in and out of the hospital, and then home with Hospice briefly. He passed away this month on the 3th, here at home, with me by his side. He was struggling there at the end so it was a blessing to see him not suffering anymore. It's so strange without him here and I miss him terribly.

I was with my family at Christmas and I'm taking things a day at a time.

I hope everyone has a Wonderful Blessed New Year!

Sorry to read about the loss of your husband. I kind of figured something must have happened because you no longer posted anything.
Take care...

I am so sorry that you are suffering the loss of your husband. I new you took care of him but I never knew the circumstances of his illness. I did admire how you cared for him and did and did not write about it and how difficult it was for you. Such courage.

I trust the New Year bring you interesting times and joys.

I look forward to you blogging more often again, some time soon.

Hey girl,
So sorry.... I know it will be rough... it just is. But, we muddle on, and time does its thing. You are in my heart and prayers. No words can make it easier, just know there are many of us who care. So sorry I live so far away.
Love and hugs. Jan (possum)

Oh Rachel ~~ I wasn't expecting to read news like this when I came for my pokey visit. I do hope things are starting to get back into perspective for you. Losing a mate is hard (I lost one by unexpected divorce).

Friends can be of help. Please remember us, your Blogging Friends, and do keep up withus with your correspondence. (Your church signs are the best, you have a monopoly on them.)

We all love you.

(((((HUGS))))) for you, Rachel,

I have been thinking of you every day and wondering what to say. Even though I commented earlier, it just didn't' seem enough. Now reading Jim's post, I want to ditto his every word. Love you Rachel and hope you are managing.

Rachel, I think we are Facebook friends but if so, we haven't visited for a long time. Must do.
It's been over 11 years since your husband died. I know you don't just stay home, probably
you moved to a smaller home in an apartment or perhaps a Senior Living place, could be
assisted care. I do hope you are in good body and spirit shape.

We moved to Katy, Texas, to be closer to the "Wonder Woman". She still works
her for BP and has moved up the ranks pretty well. That's why we moved here, to help her
with the baby who is no a freshman in high school. Mrs. Jim is doing well, pretty healthy in
body. We both have become forgetful, I blame that on COVID, that and for me taste and smell
and balance. But I've made it to as high a number divisible by 10 as I ever expected.
